No Country For Old Men

No Country for Old Men

I watched the movie 'No Country for Old Men' which is about a hunter Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) who ends up finding a drug deal gone wrong, many people and animals are dead, he finds the money which added up to $2 million. He takes the money home to his trailer. He then finds out that a hired hitman Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) has been given the job to retreive the money back from him.

The movie poster is effective as it gives the audience an idea of no escape, hence the idea of Bardem's eyes in the background as if he is always looking around the place so like there is no place to hide. The fact thta Brolin is small in the poster is also an idea of him constantly running away from Bardem.

In the film, Javier Bardem plays a ruthless hitman who will kill anyone that gets in his way from stopping him from achieving his objective. His character is an extremely calm person despite the sort of work he does, thanks to his calmness whenever he is on screen he makes the audience incredibly uneasy because through his calmness it feels like that he may just snap and kill everyone. His voice is also incredibly calm and neutral even when he is about to kill somebody.
